Survival with Axicabtagene Ciloleucel in Large B-Cell Lymphoma
CAR-T for second line is better than standard of care, the question is: how about compared to BITE therapy? Future is exciting for those patients.

Dr. Maen Hussein's Thoughts
Confirming that RR can be an alternative to R chemotherapy as a first line therapy in advanced stage follicular lymphoma.
ABSTRACT
The RELEVANCE trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01650701) showed that lenalidomide plus rituximab (R2) provided similar efficacy to rituximab plus chemotherapy (R-chemo) in patients with advanced-stage, previously untreated follicular lymphoma (FL). We report the second interim analysis of the RELEVANCE trial after 6 years of follow-up. Patients with previously untreated grade 1-3a FL were assigned 1:1 to R2 or R-chemo, followed by rituximab maintenance. Coprimary end points were complete response (confirmed/ unconfirmed) at week 120 and progression-free survival (PFS). At median follow-up of 72 months, 6-year PFS was 60% and 59% for R2 and R-chemo, respectively (hazard ratio 5 1.03 [95% CI, 0.84 to 1.27]). Six-year overall survival was estimated to be 89% in both groups. Median PFS and overall survival were not reached in either group. Overall response after progression was 61% and 59%, and 5-year estimated survival rate after progression was 69% and 74% in the R2 and R-chemo groups, respectively. The transformation rate per year in the R2 and R-chemo groups was 0.68% and 0.45%, and secondary primary malignancies occurred in 11% and 13% (P 5 .34), respectively. No new safety signals were observed. R2 continues to demonstrate comparable, durable efficacy and safety versus R-chemo in previously untreated patients with FL and provides an acceptable chemo-free alternative.
